DARING DROID (MYTHIC EVENT)

A new Mythic event makes its way to the Holotable! As detailed alongside BB-8's Legendary Event, Mythic Events are a way to replay a previously completed Legendary Events. Mythic Events are max-level content that will only appear once you’ve completed the Legendary version first. Once the Legendary version is completed, the Mythic Event will unlock immediately and become available to play as long as it is still running.

In the Daring Droid Mythic version, players will be able to replay the original Legendary Event final tier, play a new, more difficult tier where they can take any characters in, and a new tier that reverses the encounter! Battle against the Empire with the team from a A New Hope! And similar to BB-8's Mythic Event, R2-D2's will return everytime the Legendary event is run.

I signed in just to say: thanks for the Hermit Yoda fix! I was sad I couldnt get Rey this time around, but this totally made up for it. Also, thanks for the gifts, much appreciated.
You guys at CG have been receiving a lot of critics these days, but as a F2P all I can say is: thanks for letting me play an awesome game totally for free, you guys are doing an excellent job as far as Im concerned.
Happy holidays and may you all take a good rest and recharge your batteries with your families.
May the Force be with you all!

Really?
You are putting Wampa into the platoons already?
We said we wanted platoons to be actually acheivable rather than having the entire guild to pay ludicrious sums of money constantly to have a slight hope of filling them and your takaway is to add a character in that (I’m pretty sure) hasn’t exsisted long enough for people to unlock nevermind to get multiple stars with.

Drop that part of this and it’s a 8/10 update. With it this is a solid 2/10
Bad form

Nobody will share the enthusiasm with this change as you do. This is another change to platoons that is out of touch with reality and what would make a game fun. Farm Wampa for a months and use him in platoons - yeah!

I'd like to add to this a little.

What I love is that the first time CLS came around, all I had was STHan and Farmboy Luke at 4*. Hadn't even unlocked Leia or Old Ben or R2. But between then and now, I have had the time to get them all to 7* and geared up to GL9 or GL10 in preparation for the inevitable return of CLS. So a big thanks for giving us enough time to fully prepare for the second run of CLS!

I had a lot to do in that time. Aside from getting the New Hope Rebels leveled, I had to get a full 7* Empire team for R2, which required a 7* Thrawn, which required a 7* Phoenix Squad. So now, as a player who started in June, I have 3 pretty good teams, I can solo GW with Phoenix, feel like i'm participating in TB and TW, and even do raids with my guild. The progression in this game isn't the fastest out there, but it's steady and doesn't take years to get a really good squad or two. So props to the devs for that!

Small/new guilds continuously get beaten with sticks just for being small or new. This is a structural problem that must be addressed, as it is getting out of hand this way. Filling platoons is already hard for many guilds, but if you have to invest what little currency you get into farming a character instead of buying G12 pieces, you only get further behind.

Having these characters as extremely long term rewards (in the style of the raid characters) would be hard enough, but requiring them is much worse than requiring General Kenobi even. At least you get him as a BONUS in addition with the raid reward. Here, someone in a small guild would have to spend everything he gets for about 4-5 months just to unlock a character, so it is entirely unfeasible (Because the difference in rewards between new/small and big/old guilds has not been well constructed).

Holiday 25% Bonus Crystal Bundle

In the Daring Droid Mythic version, players will be able to replay the original Legendary Event final tier, play a new, more difficult tier where they can take any characters in, and a new tier that reverses the encounter! Battle against the Empire with the team from a A New Hope!

For this final tier do all the characters need to be 7* and is it the exact team from A New Hope (ie Raid Han, Farm boy luke, Old ben, Leia, Chewie, and R2) or can you use any rebel?
